Rejected petition Kenneth Clarke as interim prime minster to guide us through the mayhem of Brexit

We feel Kenneth Clarke would be the only wise experienced MP to get us out of this terrible situation as Father of the House.

This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.

The Prime Minister of the UK is not chosen by the UK Government or Parliament.
After a general election, the Queen decides who to invite to form a Government. In practice, this is usually the leader of the political party that wins the most seats in a general election.
